All classes went to the book fair. That part was fairly standard.

First period finished Nightjohn before heading out to the book fair. Second period had a class meeting for the twenty minutes before the fair. Fourth period went over showing versus telling (or snapshots versus thoughtshots). Sixth period finished chapter four of Nightjohn.

There’s a vocab/spelling quiz coming up Friday for first, second, and sixth periods.
